About Meteor
From the publisher's feed
Meteor tells the true stories of cosmic impacts and the rocks that fall from space. Each episode, host Nirob takes one event — the meteor storm that set the sky on fire in 1833, the blast over the…
Siberian forest in 1908, the meteorite that crashed through a car in 1992, the comet that fell on Jupiter before the eyes of the world, the impact that ended the age of the dinosaurs — and rebuilds it: the moment of the fall, the witnesses who saw it, the search for the rock and the crater, the science that read the evidence, and what the event taught us about the danger from the sky.
From the meteorites worshipped in the ancient world to the craters of the deep past, from the fireballs that light up the modern sky to the planetary defence that is tracking the asteroids of the future, Meteor is the story of the solar system reaching down to touch the Earth. Meticulously researched, clear about the astronomy and the geology, and honest about the difference between the legend of a falling star and the science of a falling rock. Clean and suitable for all ages. A new fall every week
